Solana Romania Srl

What Solana Romania Srl does

Sole Mizo Romania Srl is a Romanian food-products distribution subsidiary of Hungary's Bonafarm Group, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Timisoara. The company imports and distributes dairy, cured meat, poultry semi-prepared products, and wines under five brands — Mizo and Sole (dairy), Pick (cured meats), Valdor (poultry), and Teleki (wines) — sourcing primarily from related Hungarian producers within Bonafarm (Sole Mizo Zrt, Pick Zrt, Hungerit Zrt, Csányi Winery). Through two logistics centers in Timisoara and Bucharest, products reach modern retail chains and wholesale channels across all regions of Romania.

The portfolio is anchored on three differentiated product franchises with traditional or technical specificity: Mizo's A2 beta-casein lactose-free milk sourced from a genetically tested herd at the Csípőtelek farm since 1972; Pick's Winter Salami produced since 1869 using a secret recipe, beech-wood cold-smoking and 80–90 day natural mold maturation; and Teleki's wines from Hungary's Villány region. Valdor adds a ready-to-cook poultry range (nuggets, schnitzel, medallions, croquettes) produced by Hungerit Zrt, which carries more than 100 years of meat-processing tradition. Sole rounds out the offering with UHT cooking creams, butter creams, processed cheese, and lactose-free variants. The portfolio has been incrementally expanded every few years since founding, with Pick (2013), Teleki (2020) and Valdor (2022) added sequentially.

Commercially, the company operates as a B2B distribution layer rather than a direct-to-consumer retailer: revenue is generated entirely through physical product sales (hardware sales model) to Romanian modern retail chains and wholesale distributors, with orders routed through dedicated B2B email channels ([email protected] and [email protected]). Pricing is set at retail and is not publicly disclosed. Consumer marketing is multi-channel — Facebook, Instagram and YouTube accounts for each brand plus a recipe-content hub on the company website — but the underlying transactional mechanism is shelf placement through retailer partnerships. The company has no public funding, no disclosed revenue, no named management team in the public domain, and no subsidiaries; its strategic direction is set by the Bonafarm parent group.
